in reply to In search of an algorithm for loading cyclic graphs
A couple things about your question don't parse correctly for me.
What do you mean when you say that you 'apply a local fix' - how is what you describe a 'fix' for anything? (You still end up with the cycles in the database, which I gather you want to do)
Why would you be creating the id for A 'early' when you would normally generate the ids in order?
How does this differ from not applying said fix?
